The soft coal ash track affected Chen Qiang's performance, and he finally ran a 10.7 seconds.

Liu Changchun was 0.2 seconds slower than Chen Qiang and ended the game with a time of 10.7 seconds.

Although he lost the game, Liu Changchun did not seem very depressed.

"I am really worthy of being the number one in Asia. I have tried my best and am not your opponent." Liu Changchun said.

"I mainly won in the second half." Chen Qiang lowered his voice and said in a reminder tone: "You should really strengthen your second half. Our domestic athletes are generally weak, but the top foreign experts are different. They run very well in the second half. The Japanese man I had competed with before should be inferior to you in the first half, but his strength in the second half is very outstanding. If there is no outstanding second half, you will definitely suffer a loss in the Olympics."

"Thank you for your reminder. After I go back, I will definitely practice my second half." Liu Changchun said.

In fact, both of his losses to Chen Qiang were lost in the second half. Liu Changchun had already realized his shortcomings and had planned to strengthen his second half.

In history, Liu Changchun only began to pay attention to the second half of the practice after losing the Los Angeles Olympics in 1932. By the time of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, his second half of the running was significantly strengthened. Unfortunately, Liu Changchun was 27 years old in 1936, and after leaving the Northeast, Liu Changchun's training was not guaranteed, so Liu Changchun also returned in a defeat at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Liu Changchun asked, "You have to participate in the 200m preliminaries in the afternoon, right? I have never seen you 200m before, how are you practicing?"

"At the end of last year, I competed with the Japanese in Tianjin for 200 meters. One of my opponents was Sasaki Yoshizo and the other was Awu Yanfu. I don't know if you have heard of them." Chen Qiang replied.

"A little bit of an ear." Liu Changchun shook his head and said he didn't know the two Japanese. Then he continued to ask, "What's the result? Did you win?"

"Go away by luck." Chen Qiang said modestly.

"You can do it, I won two Japanese. Since these two Japanese dare to challenge in Tianjin, their abilities are definitely extraordinary! It seems that I may not be your opponent in the 200-meter sprint." Liu Changchun said half-jokingly.

"Stop talking nonsense. When I was competing with the Japanese, the result was 22 seconds. You can run to 22 seconds in 200 meters, and you can't beat me?" Chen Qiang replied with a smile.

"Who said I can run 22 seconds in 200 meters?" Liu Changchun denied, then he lowered his voice and said, "It's just that I can run 22 seconds during training. I have never had such a result in the competition!"

Chen Qiang's expression was slightly surprised, because in Chen Qiang's memory, the national record of 200 meters in the Republic of China period was the 22-second period that Liu Changchun maintained.

"It seems that Liu Changchun has not yet made a national record of 22 seconds. However, he can run 22 seconds in practice, so in the competition, he can run a 22-second score at any time. I still can't take it lightly!"

...

In the 200-meter preliminary and rematch, Chen Qiang still did not meet a strong player and was led to advance to the finals.

Of course, in the preliminary and semi-finals, Chen Qiang did not show his real strength. His opponent was too weak, and Chen Qiang could advance without any effort.

After all, this is just the North China Games, not the whole China Games. Apart from Liaoning, athletes in Peking and Tianjin also have some strength. Other places such as Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Chahar, Suiyuan and other places have no good universities at all. Without good universities, there will be no good athletes.

Therefore, at the North China Games, the overall level of athletes was slightly inferior.

If there are National Games, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places participating in the competition, there will be many first-class universities and many excellent athletes in these places, and the overall level of athletes will also rise to a higher level.

...

In the 200m final, Chen Qiang received a lot of cheers as soon as he appeared.

After winning the 100-meter sprint, many spectators have already met Chen Qiang. In addition, Chen Qiang is an athlete of the Shandong team, and is particularly supported by the fellow villagers of Jinan.

Liu Changchun looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "When I was in the Northeast, there were not so many audiences supporting me."

"It's also my first time competing in my hometown." Chen Qiang sighed and continued: "In fact, this is the first time I have returned since I left Jinan in the 17th year of the Republic of China. It has changed a lot of things and people here, and I have no relatives in Jinan."

Liu Changchun opened his mouth and wanted to comfort Chen Qiang, but he didn't know what to say. Finally, he patted Chen Qiang on the shoulder and changed the topic: "When the game is a while, you have to cheer up. Your 22-second score may not be able to beat mine."

"Don't worry, I will definitely give my all! If you don't run seriously, you might lose to me!" Chen Qiang said with a smile.

The two encouraged each other and stood on the starting line.

The 200-meter starts on the curve. This time, Liu Changchun is still in the second lane, while Chen Qiang is in the third lane. So Chen Qiang's starting position is in front of Liu Changchun's right.

Liu Changchun's starting position is along the track curve, and the same is true for other athletes, except Chen Qiang, whose starting direction is oblique and is as close to the outside line of the track as possible.

In the 200m preliminaries, Liu Changchun had seen Chen Qiang's way of starting on a curve. He discussed with Coach Song and concluded that such a tilted start was to gain a larger sprint distance at the start.

Both Liu Changchun and Coach Song felt that this method of starting is obviously more scientific than the traditional starting method, but Liu Changchun did not blindly learn. After sprinters reach the level of national first-level athletes, their technical characteristics have become more mature. At this time, hastily changed one of their own technology, which will not only not improve their grades, but will instead cause their grades to decline.

So Liu Changchun just remembers Chen Qiang's starting method in his heart. After returning to Northeast China, he still needs to learn from Chen Qiang's starting line through training.

"Everyone is here, prepare!" The commander shouted, and raised the starting gun at the same time, and the audience at the scene also calmed down.

"Bang!" At the same time, the athletes started to start, and crazy shouts broke out in the stands at the same time.

"Chen Qiang, come on!"

"Chen Qiang, come on!"

Everyone is cheering for Chen Qiang, after all, this is a local player in Jinan.

On the track, Chen Qiang ignored the cheering sounds around him, and at this time he focused all his attention on the competition.

After all, this is a curved run. While Chen Qiang accelerates the turn, he also needs to follow the inner line of the left side of the runway as much as possible to obtain the shortest distance to travel, and at the same time he also needs to avoid fouls on the line.

To do this, Chen Qiang must devote part of his energy to keep an eye on the track. He cannot make mistakes in every step, so he must be careful with every step. But at the same time, he also needs to increase his speed as much as possible, so he must take every step boldly.

Being bold and meticulous is probably the state Chen Qiang is present now.

...

Liu Changchun noticed that Chen Qiang's body was tilted.

"His body is oblique, what's the use of doing this?" Liu Changchun's physics is obviously more ordinary, and he didn't know that this is using centripetal force.

However, the speed Chen Qiang showed made Liu Changchun a little scared.

"It's so fast. This is a corner running. Chen Qiang can run so fast. How did he do it!" Liu Changchun had realized that Chen Qiang showed much faster on the corner than himself.

Athletes of this era do not know how to use centripetal force to accelerate. They are actually using their bodies to fight centripetal force in corner running, so the speed of this curve will naturally not be improved. For many athletes in the 1930s, if the curve speed is too fast, they may not be able to control their body turns, so Liu Changchun is somewhat incomprehensible about high-speed curve running like Chen Qiang.

If you are a professor at Springfield College in the United States, after carefully observing Chen Qiang's curve, you will understand the principle. However, it is not a matter of imitation overnight. After all, what Chen Qiang used is the future sprinting skills. This is the best solution obtained through decades of continuous practice and research by generations. With the insight of people of this era, it is difficult to see through the naked eye several times.

Moreover, in the future, high-level sports training has been systematic. A 200-meter sprint involves not only training in sprint technology, but also various physical training. World-class sprinters also need training in psychological stability. In the 1930s, not only training technology could not be achieved, but the training concept and training hardware could not be achieved.

Fortunately, Chen Qiang has a training space so that he can enjoy future training. Otherwise, with the backward training conditions in the 1930s, even if Chen Qiang has sports philosophy from the future, he will not be able to reach the level of future athletes.

Back to the topic, Liu Changchun had already discovered that Chen Qiang's curve speed was amazing. Not only could he not catch up with Chen Qiang, but he would also be widened.

In yesterday's 100-meter sprint final, Liu Changchun was able to keep up with Chen Qiang's pace in the first half. Although he was a little behind at the start, Chen Qiang never got rid of it.

But in today's 200m final, Liu Changchun was left behind by Chen Qiang in the 100m bend in front! Liu Changchun suddenly felt that in the 200m event, he not only did not narrow the gap with Chen Qiang, but the gap was even bigger.

A complex feeling arose in Liu Changchun's heart, including anxiety, irritability, helplessness, and even more unwillingness!

"I have lost the 100-meter sprint yesterday. This time I must not give up easily!" Liu Changchun still did not choose to give up. His backwardness at this time inspired his will, allowing him to give it a try and catch up with all his strength.

...

Since the 200-meter starting position is not on the same straight line, Chen Qiang, who is more in line with a relatively higher position, did not pay attention to Liu Changchun on the left track, nor did he feel the pressure brought by Liu Changchun.

Chen Qiang's main energy is still on the track under his feet. He strives to control the place where he lands at every step and always keeps running at high speed.

The front is where the curve and the straight line are intersected. Once you enter the straight line, Chen Qiang no longer has to be careful of his feet, nor has he had to spend his energy on the curve running skills. He can devote all his energy to the sprint.

The focus point of Chen Qiang's feet changed. In the curve, the inside of the forefoot of the right foot was grounded on the ground and the outside of the forefoot of the left foot, so that the body was in a tilted state. Obviously, there was no need to run like this in the straight path, so Chen Qiang chose to land normally on his feet.

However, in this process, Chen Qiang made some mistakes and his pace was a little disordered.

This kind of technical conversion between curves and straights is also a major point in 200 meters running. If there is a problem with the connection between curves and straights, it will be slower by at least 0.1 second.

Chen Qiang also quickly realized that if he made a mistake, it would delay 0.1 second.

"It was because the front was running too tightly and the body was not relaxed enough, so when turning straight in the corner, the technical movements were too stiff, resulting in a mistake." Chen Qiang's mind had analyzed the cause of the mistake in an instant.

200 meters is different from 100 meters. 200 meters requires a curve to turn straight, so there is a so-called "relaxation technology" in the 200-meter sprint. This technology did not exist before 2008, but when Bolt broke the 200-meter world record in 2008, many coaches and researchers noticed this relaxation technology.

Bolt ran 200 meters, which was much more relaxed than when he ran 100 meters. When watching Bolt's 200 meters race video, he often found that he looked around and didn't seem very focused.

However, after the sports scientists input Bolt's movements into the computer for comparison and analysis, they found that this was a very relaxed way of running.

Then exercise experts found out that body relaxation is conducive to maintaining the coordination of the body during high-speed movements, and also helping to achieve a higher level of cooperation between the nervous system and the muscle system, which is a great improvement for curved running.

Then sports experts continued to study and discovered a new phenomenon.

Everyone knows that relaxing muscles during high-speed exercise will lead to a decrease in speed, but if the muscles relax, the slower the speed will decrease; on the contrary, the lower the muscles relax, the faster the speed will decrease.

This series of research results has led to the emergence of a new sports concept. Many sprint coaches have begun to try to allow athletes to appropriately relax their muscles during high-speed running, which will have better results.

Chen Qiang was not relaxed enough just now, and his whole body was too tense, so he made mistakes in footwork when he entered the straight corner.

Chen Qiang adjusted quickly, but the speed dropped significantly at this moment. This is exactly the result of the research that the lower the muscle relaxation, the faster the speed drops.

Chen Qiang felt that this mistake and the subsequent adjustments made him lose more than 0.1 second. Chen Qiang estimated that this loss was nearly 0.2 seconds.

"I still lack some experience in the 200-meter sprint, otherwise this kind of mistake would not have happened." Chen Qiang was a little dissatisfied with his performance, but fortunately he is in the first place now and other athletes have not caught up.

After entering the straight track, Chen Qiang can finally split some energy to observe the situation of other athletes. The main thing is to take a look at Liu Changchun's situation.

Liu Changchun was still desperately chasing Chen Qiang. Although he was behind, he was not discouraged at all in his eyes, but instead he became more and more fighting spirit.

This is Liu Changchun, an athlete who will never give in easily.

All the athletes ran out of the corner and entered the 100-meter sprint stage. At this time, there was no trick at all, just rush forward with your head down!

...

"Chen Qiang, come on! Chen Qiang, come on!"

Neat shouts sounded in the audience, and as Chen Qiang got closer and closer to the finish line, the sound gradually began to become neat.

Chen Qiang also noticed the voices that cheered him. Although they were all Shandong dialects, they had a different feeling when they heard it.

Chen Qiang is a time traveler. He is no longer the same as he was. He is not as kind as his hometown to Jinan.

But at this time, the cheering sounds of Shandong dialect made Chen Qiang feel the smell of the local accent.

Some people say that Shandong dialect sounds very rustic, but at this time Chen Qiang felt that these sounds cheering for him were the most beautiful melody of time. The cheering shouts seemed to be specifically ringing the war drum for him to inspire him to move forward; and the shouting of his name again and again was full of expectations for the victory of the contestants in his hometown!

Chen Qiang enjoys this feeling very much, which will make him feel a sense of accomplishment and can slightly satisfy his vanity. At the same time, this will also allow Chen Qiang to experience the value of his existence.

But more of it is touching!

Thousands of people, they have nothing to do with Chen Qiang, but they are calling Chen Qiang's name, cheering for Chen Qiang at the top of their lungs, and looking forward to Chen Qiang's victory!

This kind of touch came like this, and it was inexplicably and could not be described in words.

The next moment, Chen Qiang arrived before the finish line. He raised his chest and head up, and crossed the finish line. In this way, he brought the shouts around him to the climax!

"Win, win again!"

"Our Shandong team won again!"

"Chen Qiang won again!"

All of this, tens of thousands of Jinan elders in the stadium began to share the joy of victory. They and Chen Qiang enjoyed the beautiful fruits brought by victory.

...

The referee and the timekeeper confirmed it and finally announced the results.

"Liaoning team, Liu Changchun, 22 seconds 3!"

Liu Changchun was given encouragement and applause from the scene, and Liu Changchun sighed helplessly again.

22 seconds 3, which is not the best for Liu Changchun, but it is already very good. This slightly soft track also affected Liu Changchun's performance, otherwise he would have been able to be faster.

"Shandong team, Chen Qiang..." The referee deliberately made a long sound, and then said loudly: "22 seconds!"

Upon hearing this result, a surprise flashed across Chen Qiang's face.

Since Liu Changchun has not yet made a national record of 22 seconds, the 22 seconds that Chen Qiang ran out today is a new 200-meter national record!
Chapter completed!
